“Well I’m sure if Turkey was running EY -there would be No draft.”
Actually, the Ottoman Empire had a stringent conscription program for Muslims and Christians from the 14th century to 1908. Some Christians could avoid it by paying an extra tax, but the Ottomans forcibly abducted Christian children and converted them to Islam as slave-soldiers. (And you thought the Czar’s canonist programs was awful.) Jews avoided Ottoman conscription completely until the Young Turks revolution in 1909, after which all Ottoman subjects became subject to the draft and many Jews did serve in the Ottoman Army during WW1. The best known example was Moshe Sharett, who later became the second Prime Minister of Israel.
The Turkish Republic has mandatory military service today.
